Sharepoint 2010 Timer Service error code 1069

On my local SharePoint server, Timer Service gives me an error "The service could not be started due to logon failure".


Initially I thought that, there is a need to enable some service from the Central Administration. Later realized that the issue is in the service itself.
The issue is fixed after setting of proper password within the service properties.

If the above solution doesn't work, check your Group Policy.
To get the service to start I had to retype the password in the Log On tab in the Service Properties. When I'd done this I was given a message saying that the account had been granted Log On Locally rights. I could then start the service, but the problem would recur some hours later.
So I got onto our network guys and they gave the relevant accounts Log On Locally rights in our Group Policy, updated the Group Policy on the server and bingo, no more stopped services.
To test it, I retyped the password in the Log On tab in the Service Properties. This time I *wasn't* given any message. Therefore, the account already had Log On Locally rights.

Hopefully this will save someone some heartache!
